Lan Frazier and Kevin Coffeen tip-off the ball to start the game Thursday night in which the SunDevils hosted the Toppers in the Del Valdez Gymnasium in Española. The Toppers led most of the first half as the SunDevils came out cold shooting from the floor, so the Toppers took advantage of that and stayed ahead. But in the second half, the SunDevils’ shooting improved, and they pulled ahead for the win 54-45. The matchup is always a fast, action-packed game and this game was no exception.
